NCL's Bigger ships suck when it comes to service... They're older ships (the jewel and gem) are ideal for service and entertainment. That line has truly lost it's way and started putting profits ahead of guest experience.

I've spent up to 3 hours waiting for new years fireworks at MK, had to have that ideal photo spot just to the right of walt and mickey. It's a ridiculously busy time and people will spend hours waiting. But if you're not into sitting around for that long, the fireworks are visible across most of...

I'm really excited. A few years back i did a couple of contracts with NCL, but the company was heading in a direction i didn't really care for. Excited beyond all reason to get back to shoplift. Got my medical eval in the morning than hopefully I'll find out which ship this coming week or two

While I don't particularly love the new song for HEA, the show itself is pretty phenomenal! I do wish it still had the emotion that Wishes did, but I was not let down when I went to see it back in July. Disney is a forever changing tapestry of attractions and entertainment. While it's always...

Renting a car is probably your best/cheapest option. It's about a 4 1/2 hour drive from Miami to Orlando... a bit longer by bus. Flights are generally pretty inexpensive (under $150 round trip) but having a car to get around Orlando is a huge perk, if you're only going to stay on property then...

Not yet, I have to get my medical evaluation done first before I'm "officially" hired, as of right now I'm contigentally hired. But my exam is next Friday, the 18th, so I should know within a couple weeks.

I've been offered a position as an "Entertainment Host." Basically my dream job! It'll be a couple of months at the earliest for me to ship out. But I could not be more excited! Be sure when you guys cruise again to come and say Hi!

thanks... the following email is a good sign.. right? "Dear Pilka214, Congratulations on making it to the next stage of the Disney Cruise Line® hiring process! It is time to start planning and preparing for your Disney Cruise Line adventure. As a future crew member onboard the Disney Magic...

Just wrapped up my audition to be an entertainment host with DCL. The audition/interview went very well in opinion and I have really high hopes for this job. Hopefully I'll hear back in the next week! Just had to tell everyone

I think it depends a lot on what you plan on doing in port. If you plan on taking a Taxi or other from of car/bus transport, I could see it being a safe option... But a whole lot to lug along. No Port you're going to, except possibly port canaveral and key west will have any laws regarding...

Tortola- definitely the most popular and worthwhile excursion is Virgin Gorda and the Baths. St Thomas- I actually enjoy coral world, it's just an aquarium with places to see the natural water as well, coki beach next door is pretty nice too. I also enjoyed seeing blackboards castle (more of a...

Just don't rent a scooter in port... personal story, I managed to wreck one in Cozumel about 4 years ago after riding across some dirt/sand and ended up paying a $650 fee for repairs... luckily they didn't report me to my ship's captain which is protocol.

Oh, I sailed on the Dawn out of cruiseport in south Boston. I imagine the breakaway out of NYC would be a pain.

I love bermuda, favorite port I ever sailed to, does the ship stay for 3 days like NCL's?

I've seen a video of the Hunchback production they mounted at the La Jolla play house a few years back... it's genuinely incredible. no clue why it never went to broadway.

@pilka214 already gave you some alternate cruise lines to think about if you're going to browse. Keep in mind that DCL will be more expensive than any of the options in that earlier post. But your experience, and in particular the service, that you'll get is far and away better than what...

When I sailed DCL last year, the crew member's were spreading rumors one of the ships would be heading to China. Based on NCL and RCL itineraries these days, I would not be surprised in the least if one of these ships was planned for an asian itinerary.

The only thing worth doing in Nassau (dozens of visits) is find a good restaurant that has fresh off the boat conch. Go directly west of the port to the Western Esplanade beach and you'll find at least a dozen restaurants to pick from.. i believe two brothers was my favorite. They do genuinely...

NCL heavily promotes their "freestyle cruising" concept. Basically do what you want to do when you want to do it. Eat when you want to, dress up when you want to etc. The crew have more formal attire, at least the cruise staff/ cruise director etc all wear suits/dresses. But norwegian's niche is...

I know a lot of votes have been for Aladdin, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a Hercule's stage adaption here. There's been a lot of talk in the industry referring to a Hercules show, but nothing from Disney's theatre group... would be a very cool stage adaption imo.
